"What?" Mo Xiaoqi chose to start pretending to be stupid, some things were clear, and even his friends didn't have to do it.

Zhao Hongyi frowned slightly, and when he opened his mouth to speak, Mo Xiaoqi had already turned around and went to the back kitchen.

When the meal arrived, guests came to the door one after another, and Mo Xiaoqi was also busy.

How could she not see that Zhao Hongyi was interested in herself? But she's a widow, but he's a county magistrate, not about his status, she just doesn't want him to get into endless trouble.

……

The county government of Renshou County has always been quiet, but in the early morning of this day, there were people beating drums and shouting grievances.

It turned out that someone complained that his younger brother had eaten a "Kelaixiang" meal, and when he came home, he had a stomachache, and he died before dawn.

The body was carried into the county office, and after an autopsy, it was handed over to the county magistrate Zhao Hongyi: "My lord, the deceased was indeed poisoned and died." A toxic substance was found in the mouth. ”

"Well, then, let's pass on the boss of 'Kelaixiang' Mo Xiaoqi." Zhao Hongyi knew that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with her, but when things developed to this point, he couldn't rely entirely on his own speculation.

At this time, Mo Xiaoqi was sitting in the warm sun in the backyard of 'Kelaixiang' with her child in her arms, and when she heard that someone died because of eating the food she cooked, she knew that the An family still couldn't bear to take action.

"Boss Mo, hurry up! Lord Zhao is waiting for the trial! "It's very polite to catch a quick hand.

"Well, I'll go. Can you please do me a favor, though? Grab a little bit of every ingredient in the kitchen for me and take it to the county office. ”

Mo Xiaoqi handed over the child to Bai Xi's wife to take care of him temporarily, and then followed the arrest to the county office, and Bai Xi was also taken away.

Before she entered the gate of the county government, dozens of people pointed at her.

"Who should I be, it turns out that she is the behind-the-scenes boss of 'Kelaixiang'." The fat man said with a pout.

"Who? The woman? The thin man pointed at Mo Xiaoqi.

"No, you don't know, do you? It was the young lady before the An family, but she was divorced as soon as she got married. Before marrying into the An family, she was the mother of the bastard on the street, and the baby was more than a year old. The fat man grinned, and there was a little contempt in his words.

"Ahem, so to speak, it's a nonchalant woman!" The thin man immediately made a judgment.

"Smack!" With a startled shot, everyone fell silent, and only the sobs of the deceased's family could be heard.

"Who's in the hall?" Zhao Hongyi's appearance in the trial is very majestic.

"Folk woman Mo Xiaoqi, the boss of 'Kelaixiang'." replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and was not afraid at all because he was involved in a murder.

"Little white joy." However, Bai Xi was a little worried on his face, although Mo Xiaoqi was comforting him all the way.

He has opened a restaurant for so many years, and what he is most afraid of is encountering such a thing as eating dead people. That's really indisputable, basically equivalent to being half of yourself in the county jail.

If the charges are confirmed, then the restaurant will not want to continue to open.

"Zhang Dou, you can tell me about the experience of going to 'Kelaixiang' for dinner." Zhao Hongyi looked straight ahead, and did not have any worries because he was familiar with Mo Xiaoqi.

According to his confession, he and his younger brother Zhang Hua went to 'Kelaixiang' for dinner yesterday evening.

Soon after Zhang Hua returned home after eating, he felt unbearable pain in his stomach, fell asleep after drinking a bowl of hot water, and lost his breath early the next morning.

"Mo Xiaoqi, do you have anything to say?" Zhao Hongyi's gaze turned to her, and he couldn't see the waves.

"Excuse me, did the two of you really go to 'Kelaixiang' for dinner yesterday evening?" Mo Xiaoqi raised his first doubt, "Can anyone testify for you?" ”

"Yes, the second child in the store, I also bumped into him and almost soiled my new clothes." After Zhang Dou finished speaking, he patted the ash on his clothes.

At this time, Mo Xiaoqi noticed that he was wearing a plain white silk coat, but the inside was ordinary linen clothes.

If it is for the sake of face, the outside is dressed in sackcloth, but it is reasonable.

But when I looked at Zhang Dou's hands, they were extremely rough, and the joints were slightly deformed, so he should have worked often.

A person who works a lot will not choose to wear light-colored clothes, let alone clothes made of valuable silk cloth.

The shopkeeper was soon called, and he recognized Zhang Dou at a glance.

"Ahh I remember him, he came to the restaurant for dinner and almost bumped into me. Because I wore a white dress, it was quite eye-catching in the store. ”

"Shopkeeper, since he is eye-catching, why did you still bump into him?" Zhao Hongyi raised doubts.

Zhang Dou hurriedly replied: "I didn't pay attention to it, and I entered the door to chat and talk with my brother." ”

"But so?" Zhao Hongyi looked at the shopkeeper, "Then do you remember, what dishes they ordered?" ”

"Remember, remember." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Cold salad three silks, small fried meat, and braised goose." ”

"Zhang Dou, is the shopkeeper right?" In fact, it's useless to ask these questions, it's just that you still have to go through the motions.

Zhang Dou nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

Mo Xiaoqi knelt down in the hall, still not impatient, and only said loudly: "Lord Zhao, I can guarantee with my life, there is no problem with my 'guest to fragrant' meal!" ”

"What do you have to vouch, my brother has eaten to death, what's the use of your guarantee." Zhang Dou roared, rushed up and was about to kick Mo Xiaoqi, but he was arrested and stopped in time.

"Wang Zhutou has collected samples of all the ingredients in the store and has sent them to ask you to inspect them." Mo Xiaoqi asked Wang to catch the head, and he did it very neatly.

He walked out at this time, and said after arching his hand: "My lord, I have looked at the food samples provided by Wang Zhutou one by one, and there are indeed no expired spoilages or toxic substances. ”

"That must be the ingredients specially prepared by this woman, anyway, my brother lost his life after eating her family's food." Zhang Dou didn't give up, looking like he was going to kick Mo Xiaoqi to death.

"Smack!" There was a startled sound, and Zhao Hongyi frowned and said, "Zhang Dou, you have to talk about evidence in everything, don't plant it indiscriminately!" ”

"Proof! My lord, my brother's body is placed here, what evidence do you need? Zhang Dou had already stood up, and knelt down with a "poof", "My lord, I must give my brother justice!" ”

"The proof, indeed, is your brother." Mo Xiaoqi turned his face to look at the corpse, without the slightest fear.

"You said that your brother died after eating the food in my store, and what he ate last night must not have been fully digested today, right? Servant. ”

"I don't know." He hesitated.

"My lord, I want to apply for a re-autopsy!" Mo Xiaoqi held his head high and looked at Zhao Hongyi, his eyes were full of determination, "I wonder if it is possible to dissect the corpse and see if there is poison in the stomach of the deceased." ”

When Zhang Dou heard this, he immediately panicked and immediately said, "No! My lord! My brother died a painful and unjust death, should he be stabbed after death? ”
